Investigators said the accuser was not a student at the school. The accuser reported being driven to a campus parking lot from some other location and was attacked in the parking lot.

The alert said investigators were looking for a white man, about 5 feet 2 inches tall, 250 pounds with white or gray hair parted down the middle. He was wearing sunglasses and flip-flops.

Investigators said he was seen in a late model four-door Buick LeSabre that was grayish or white in color.

The incident happened less than two months after a student said she was sexually assaulted by a man with a knife near the Learning Resources building. The school said it planned to increase lighting on the campus after the December incident. It also encouraged people to avoid walking to their cars alone.

Students said they were happy to hear that police had a more detailed description of the man sought in this case, but it still makes them uneasy.

"I was saying earlier that I'm surprised we're having class now because I was kind of scared coming here," said Robin Howell.

Some students said they carry pepper spray along with their books and try to walk in groups, especially after dark.
